US Capitol riot panel moves to hold ex-Trump aide in contempt

Al Jazeera  

A United States House of Representatives committee investigating the January 6 US Capitol insurrection is preparing to bring a contempt of Congress charge against Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s ex-chief of staff. “To be clear, Mr Meadows’ failure to comply, and this contempt recommendation, are not based on good-faith disagreements over privilege assertions,” the committee said in a statement on Sunday. “Rather, Mr Meadows has failed to comply and warrants contempt findings because he has wholly refused to appear to provide any testimony.” A committee vote in favour of charging Meadows with contempt sets up a vote by the full House of Representatives later this week and potential prosecution by the US Department of Justice. On January 6, thousands of the former Republican president’s supporters rallied in Washington, DC, where Trump gave a fiery speech in which he urged the crowd to “stop the steal”.
